- spamizbad 17y agohttp://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=python&lang2=v8&box=1 http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=all... CPython is between 32 faster and 14 times slower than Google's V8. Most of the time, however, V8 is 2-6 times faster than Python. Overall, V8 is quicker. The authors of Unladen Swallow have talked a bit about performance challenges in optimizing - a big one is the fact that they're not breaking anything that depends on the CPython interpreter- include C-based modules, and even esoteric Python modules that modify python bytecode on the stack.
- alecco 17y agoWatching V8 and Python development progress, I bet V8 performance will improve significantly in the next couple of years. Also Python comes with the baggage of a much more complex language and feature set.
- igouy 17y ago> CPython is between 32 faster When the CPython program uses GMP and the JavaScript program doesn't.
